I am excited and extremely nervous about this trial.If it shows any improvement in my spasticity, then theyAre going to implant the intrathecal bacLofen pump. I am Excited at the possibility of less pain and possibility of Being able to over come some obstacles I now face,But also stressed over the possible complications. Any advice?Also if you have had this done I would LOVE to hear from

I will definitely post, bacLofen didn't work for meAnd made me do nothing but sleep, so then changed meTo Valium 3 times a day ) for spasticity .. They said it is A very small dose that goes directly into the spinal fluid, where it Needs to be and that it can help get me off some of myMultitude of meds, I take 80 mg morphine 2 times a day And theyAre hoping to get me at least down if not off of it. As long as The trial shows any signs of success .. They will do the surgery,If it does nothing then I will have to have another trial withA higher does. The doctor told me they have A GREAT successRate with the trials as they have a good screening progress,And pretty much won't even try it if they are not almost Certain it will work. I am hoping it goes well, and then Hopefully I can pass along good news to my fellow SM family ( boardMembers) and that they will be able to check it out and then Be able to have the same Sucsess! It also gives me Hope for my 2 children in the future who also have sm

Thank you both for your replies.. I am nervous and excitedAnd just need to vent. In the back of my mind I keepHoping that it may also be a viable option for my 2 kidsWith sm, and to all of those who are suffering and feel hopeless.I would love to report that it's the best thing I eve did and Give some hope to all my fellow sm brothers and sisters. It's always nice to be able to give good news and hope!
